Qing Shuang told Xuan Tian Ye: "This servant has been in the county princess' manor for quite some time, and I have entered second young miss' room a few times, but I have never seen the phoenix hairpin. It was only today in Refined Deity Building that I saw her take it out. This servant was thinking, could it be that the item is not even in second young miss' hands. Instead, it has always been in his Highness Prince Yu's possession? "
Xuan Tian Ye had also thought about this question, but it still could not explain Qing Shuang's failure. Moreover … "A 'Nu." He called Qing Shuang by her original name, "How many years have you been with I?"
Qing Shuang's body trembled and quickly said: "Since I was saved by his Highness when I was four years old, it has already been 12 years."
"Twelve years." Xuan Tian Ye looked at her, and a cruel look flashed through his eyes, "Twelve years of affection, yet it cannot compare to a pair of earrings?"
"Master!" Qing Shuang was extremely shocked, fearing that he would bring this up; however, he had taken it to heart. "This servant really does not know the eldest prince. I have never even seen him before!"
Unfortunately, Xuan Tian Ye had already taken Feng Yu Heng's words to heart. Moreover, Qing Shuang was unable to hand over the phoenix hairpin, and he had personally seen her put it in her sleeve. All of the signs told him that this girl named A 'Nu had already betrayed him.
"Guards!" Xuan Tian Ye angrily shouted, and guards immediately came in from the outside. "Lock her up. Just make sure she doesn't die." Throwing out these words, he turned and left.
Qing Shuang watched Xuan Tian Ye leave without a trace of emotion. Even if she was still kneeling on the ground wearing only a dudou, she allowed the guard to go forward and grab her. She loudly shouted: "Master!" He, however, did not even turn his head.
The next day, a large piece of news spread through the capital. The future Royal Consort Yu had lost the phoenix hairpin personally bestowed by the Emperor!
When this news reached the Feng manor, the matriarch was drinking tea. Hearing the servant say this, the tea got stuck in her throat and nearly choked herself to death.
"Where is Heng Cheng?" The matriarch grabbed granny Zhao and anxiously said: "Quickly, quickly send someone to call Heng Cheng over!"
Zhao mama complied and hurriedly ordered the maidservants to go to Tong Sheng pavilion. The matriarch continued, "What is the phoenix hairpin? How could she lose that thing? Tell me, is this news true or false? "
Granny Zhao was also shocked. She was fine when she came back from the Refined Deity Building yesterday. Could it be that this happened after she left?
"Madam." She said helplessly, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, such rumors outside are not good for Second Miss!"
"It's not just bad for her!" The matriarch was so worried that there was nothing she could do, "Most important is our Feng family. Originally, Jin Yuan had been recognized by the Emperor and placed in an important position, which was why he went to the North; however, he went to the disaster area to help the Emperor, yet this sort of thing happened to our family. Say, this …"
Old Madam Fu was so anxious that she didn't know what to say. She wanted to say that Feng Yu Heng was too disappointing and was too good at causing trouble, but she couldn't say it out loud. After all, he had been doing his best to take care of her waist injury these past few days. Now that it was almost healed, if she were to say anything bad behind his back, she would feel like she was burning the bridge after crossing it.
But if she did not say it, she would feel uncomfortable holding it in.
Just like this, she waited with a stifled heart for Feng Yu Heng to come. As a result, the one that came back was just a servant.
"Where's Second Young Miss?" Granny Zhao looked back and asked, "Didn't I tell you to go invite her?"
The servant quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Tong Sheng pavilion's Huang Quan girl said that Second Young Miss lost her phoenix hairpin and is currently facing a wall to reflect. Apparently … it was his Majesty that gave the punishment."
The matriarch nearly collapsed from fear, "His Majesty's verbal order! When was it given? "
The servant said: "This servant does not know. This servant only knows that it was sent directly to the county princess' manor."
Granny Zhao pondered for a while then comforted the matriarch, saying: "After losing such an important item, she was only given the punishment of facing a wall to reflect. Thinking about it, his Majesty did not get angry. It was just for show, right? Also, elder madam, do not worry. The verbal order was sent to the county princess' manor. This means that his Majesty is a wise ruler. This matter will not implicate our Feng manor. "
The matriarch felt that this was reasonable and nodded. Although she was still not at ease, there was nothing else that she could do. She could only order a servant: "Go out and ask around a little more these days. If there are any rumors on the streets, bring them back."
The matter of Feng Yu Heng losing her phoenix hairpin and being punished was not just heard by the matriarch. Han shi also heard about it.
At this time, Fen Dai was standing in the yard with a bowl full of water on her head under the strict guidance of two grannies. Pei 'er and Han shi spoke a little louder on purpose, just loud enough for Fen Dai to hear.
The servant had originally been scolded to the point of losing her temper, but Feng Yu Heng losing something was like a shot in the arm. In an instant, she was revived.
"What did you say?" Fen Dai did not have time to worry about the bowl on her head. Turning her head, she asked Pei 'er, "Feng Yu Heng's golden hairpin was lost?"
This movement was quite big, and a bowl of water fell to the ground with a "pa" sound.
Granny Wang immediately became angry, as she walked over while brandishing her whip.
But Fen Dai did not even look at her. She only asked Pei 'er: "Is what you said true?"
Pei 'er nodded, "That's what the outside is saying. This servant also asked around in Shu Ya courtyard. It was said that elder madam had also sent someone to ask around. The information that was obtained was that the second young miss received a verbal order from his Majesty and was punished to face a wall to reflect on her mistakes!"
"Hahahaha!" Fen Dai suddenly began laughing. Suddenly turning around, she pointed at the two grannies that had rushed over and loudly said: "Don't be so happy. Your Imperial Palace Yu is about to run out of luck! She lost the phoenix hairpin. That is something that was personally bestowed by his Majesty. It is also something that can determine the fate of the world. Say, with that sort of thing being lost, what sort of fate will she face? "
The two grannies Liu and Wang were truly frightened by her words, especially granny Wang. The whip that had already been raised stopped in midair. It was not right for her to bring it down, but it was also not right for her to not bring it down.
It was granny Liu that was the first to react, angrily saying: "We have come on orders from her Highness the Empress. Whether or not Royal Consort Yu runs out of luck, what does that have to do with us?"
With her saying this, granny wang recovered and immediately realized that she had been scared by a child. In an instant, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. With a whoosh, the whip was brought down, hitting Fen Dai's arm. The pain caused her to scream loudly.
"Don't hit her!" Upon seeing Fen Dai being hit, Han shi immediately began to feel afraid. She quickly went forward to protect her, "Grannies, please calm down. Please calm down!"
But how could they calm down. They had just lost face. Would they not be able to get it back now?
They heard granny Wang say: "The Feng family's elder madam also said that there was no need for us to hold back. Would concubine mother please move aside!" While saying this, she brought the whip down once more.
Fen Dai was unable to dodge in time and began crying from the pain.
Han shi was anxious and simply used her own body to protect her. Seeing that the whip was about to land on Han shi's body, Fen Dai suddenly shouted: "You impudent! Harming my Feng family's child, what sort of crime is that? "
Granny Liu grabbed granny Wang's wrist and stopped the whip in midair, "What did fourth young miss say? Child? "
"That's right!" Fen Dai pulled Han shi behind her and raised her chin, loudly saying to the two grannies: "Concubine mother Han is currently pregnant with the Feng family's child. Even if you are grannies from the palace, you do not have the right to beat the family of a standard first rank official! If the child was lost to your whips, even her Highness the Empress would not be able to protect you! "
Her words truly frightened the two grannies. They slowly lowered the whips in their hands and no longer brought up the matter of whipping.
But the two continued to look at Han shi's body. From time to time, they were filled with doubt and from time to time, they were at a loss.
"Concubine mother Han is pregnant?" Granny Liu looked at Han shi and asked seriously.
"Yes." Fen Dai hastily replied.
"This old servant is asking concubine mother Han." She did not even pay attention to Fen Dai. She just stared at Han shi, waiting for her to respond.
Han shi froze in place, her words stuck in her throat. She did not know what she should say.
Fen Dai glared at her: "This is a good thing. Why do you not dare say it?"
She had been forced into a corner and could only nod, "Yes, she is already pregnant."
The two grannies heard this and became even more puzzled. They had lived for half a lifetime and had been in the palace for many years. Their eyes were like knives. No matter how they looked at it, Han shi did not look like she was pregnant. Why was she so certain that she was?
But since she had said it like this, they could not refute it too forcefully. They could only resentfully put away their whips. Thinking about Feng Yu Heng's situation, they could not help but feel a hazy feeling.
But on Feng Yu Heng's side, just being punished with facing the wall was not enough. Two days later, Feng Chen Yu, who had been hiding in her own courtyard, received another piece of news "Third master's people have heard that second young miss has sent servants to the Wen Xuan Palace, the right prime minister's manor and Pingnan General's office. But all of the manors have been closed, and not a single family has been able to enter."
Chen Yu's heart, which had already been hanging, tightened even more. She knew that this was Feng Yu Heng using her connections. This meant that she had encountered a very troublesome situation. She needed to ask for help from others to resolve it. Unfortunately, it was very clear that they did not want to help.
She had never hoped that Feng Yu Heng would be safe as much as she did now.
"How many days has it been?" She suddenly asked.
Yi Lin also understood her. She knew what had been on Chen Yu's mind for the past few days, thus she quickly said: "About half a month."
"It's only been half a month." Chen Yu's expression sank even more, "Say, will she be able to endure for another half a month?" After asking this, she did not wait for Yi Lin to reply before shaking her head, "Whether or not she can endure is not something that anyone can say. It will all depend on his Majesty's intentions. I only hope that girl Feng Yu Heng will not make any more mistakes. Whether she lives or dies, I do not care, but she must wait until my matters are taken care of. "
Yi Lin was also worried for Chen Yu. Originally, they had discussed this matter well, but who could have thought that the second young miss, who had always been doted on by all sorts of important people, would suddenly have something happen. She had seen too many changes in the large manors. Not to mention half a month, perhaps news of the second young miss' downfall would come tomorrow morning. When that time came, who would take care of the eldest young miss' matters?
"Carefully remember the dates." Chen Yu advised Yi Lin, "Count each day for me. When the days arrive, immediately bring banknotes and go find Feng Yu Heng. Do not delay for even a moment."
"Young miss, do not worry. This servant has remembered it all."
Chen Yu took a deep breath. She knew that once this matter was taken care of, she would immediately cut off all relations with Feng Yu Heng. This was to prevent that wall from collapsing and pressing down on her skirt. That would not be worth it.
At this time, inside Tong Sheng pavilion, a voice that caused people to tremble could be heard coming from Feng Yu Heng's bedchamber "Be gentler! It hurts! Move a little more! Move a little faster … "
